Thanks for the reply.

Yes there is a need for an end-date. In the light of TD is publishing his levels. (He do it twice a day, at start of Asian-session and an update around the start of the US-session) It is possible that some levels are discarded.

Or price went to far away from it and an other level is first needed. It also is possible that a level is not tested (following the rules). But that we as trader decide a level was tested and so we need to remove it after an update.

We only can test this in the MT4 tester afterwards if we have an end-time!

@Bestof27,

Can you send me your MT4 Journal log from that time?

-go to the Journal tab
-right-click "Open"
-look for the log-file of that date.

I have the feeling that you had a "connection" lost message. With that there is a possibility your Bars could not be up to date! But for pointing this suspect correctly I need the log-file!

Thanks.

You also can pb me!

Hi Happy

I'm in Australia and have my account in Aussie Dollars. Your EA won't work unless account is in USD or EUR? Is that correct?

Is it possible to add AUD account to your EA?

Thanks

Hi All,

After some questions and problems some of you reported I made some changes to the EA. You can find the new install in this post.

It will replace the current EA-version and documentation.

Below the changes in this release:

V1.3:
Extra functionality:

  1. The check "Allow DLL import" must be checked before the EA runs. otherwise we must unload the EA. This setting is needed because if not checked the Buttons in the EA are not working correctly.
  2. Brokers who are using a prefix and/or suffix can also be used now. In the settings you can if needed add a prefix and/or suffix
  3. It's not allowed to StopLoss=0 because we need a stoploss for our LotSize calculation! The EA is now checking that value and if not oke it gives us an alert
  4. If your account is on EUR the EA the EURCAD and EURJPY in the watchlist for calculating the LotSize. The EA now checks if those are in the watchlist
  5. If your account is on USD the EA the USDCAD and USDJPY in the watchlist for calculating the LotSize. The EA now checks if those are in the watchlist

Bugs:

  1. I added some refresh rates actions at specified points for a reported bug: "a trade was triggered after Init There was no reason to trigger any


If you have any problems or questions please do not hesitate contacting me!

Hi Happy, I've downloaded and installed your EA per the instructions. I've verified all of the required settings but the EA will no load on my chart...not even a sad face. I'm getting the following error: 2017.08.08 08:44:55.103 TradeMan_HappyMy GBPJPYi,M30: zero divide in 'MoneyManagement.mqh' (142,73) Any thoughts? I 'd really like to run your EA because my VPS gets choked down by the others. Thanks again! Just a thought..My broker uses a suffix. Would there be an issue with that?
I did a change in V1.3

Closed => If your Broker is using a prefix or suffix in the Symbol-name you now can add those in the input settings. If your Broker does not use any then please let those values empty!

Very strange... added one level for AUDUSD short, and after re-INIT an order was triggered at the actual price (no level at this price ) Here is the debugg file {file}
I did a change in V1.3

Closed => Possibly this was happened because the local bars info was not up-to-date. I added some extra bar updating in the EA. I also added some extra logging for this issue in case it is happening again! I really hope this was the problem! anyway I'm still interested in your Journal-log

It says to add USDCAD and USDJPY in the market watch, but I already have them showing. Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using an FXPro GBP demo account with the tester set to USD.

Any ideas?

Thanks

For the tester this is a "normal" error because the tester only can handle the info of his chart he is running.

The EA is build for working on Chart X and ony looks to the 5 different instruments we trading (EURUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY, USDCAD and GBPUSD)
As I see it right you try to run on USDJPY and want to trade for AUDUSD => because the tester can't get info from the AUDUSD chart you get that error! So that is just how MT4-tester is designed.

Well how do you need to test then ...
Just make the Long,txt , short.txt and rednews.txt as you used to in normal trading and place them in the tester\files\.... etcetc location.

If you want to test USDJPY run the EA on the USDJPY chart.
You need to do that for every chart/symbol you want to test....

I know, it looks terrible but that is just how the Metaframe-tester is working (unfortunately)

Hope I made some things clear for you?! If not please let me know!

Regards!

I can't use the EA in 'normal trading' as my account is GBP, but if I've understood you correctly, I just need to delete all the levels from the *.txt files apart from the pair I am testing. I've done this and there are no errors now.

Thanks again for sharing your EA!

Hi,

I can add the GBP for you in a next version if you want! I put it o the WishList!

Well you dont need to remove the not wanted levels from other pairs out of the *.txt files.
Oke...you then see errors but that's not important. The levels of you chart are all oke!

another tip....I would test on the M1 chart (everytick!). You then can check the levels easier afterwards!!

Thanks for the logging. I saw it and there is nothing special to say about. They just look oke! I don't see connection lost messages in there.
Anyway I hope I fixed it with the refresh change I made in V1.3 and higher. But honestly....I'm not sure of it!

ps. if you want you can remove your log-files
